...cheap and tawdry attempt to hang onto #metoo's coat-tails by trying to suggest that such a tweet was an appropriate response "as a female politician". I imagine that feminism across the nation must be gnashing its teeth and cracking knuckles as such a clodhopping effort to hide behind her gender.
...That's not my definition of a good guy with a generous soul
Three, he's been an apologist for a company fuelled by misogyny.
Four, you're shit stirring again, despite claiming previously that you don't have an issue with feminism or feminists, and that you've changed. You do, and you haven't.
...I note they try to avoid political type comedians, although they did have Katherine Ryan and Nish Kumar. Ryan did squeeze in some feminism where she could and Kumar did occasionally bring up Brexit, but more in a self effacing "im a one note comedian" type way iirc.
Its a light hearted fun...
That's a good point. I haven't seen as many complaints about degrees of campness though. Do you think it's camp plus feminine coded dress and makeup that = parody in some people's view?
I don't know where the idea that it was class-based came from. Well, yes, we can guess. My first conscious encounter was when I was an articled clerk - my principal warned me that he was acting for the wife of the stockbroker oozing bonhomie. She was life and soul of the community, charity...
...despite the left liberal writers of both TGS, and 30 Rock, is enough to make a questioning spectator look askance. And this is partly mitigated by Liz or whoever explicitly making reference to her supposed feminism/anti racism, making it clear that she’s actively perpetuating the problem.
I don’t disagree with that. It isn’t the context within which I was responding, though. You aren’t claiming anything about what “feminism says” based on that radicalisation.
...because it is incredibly hateful stuff. Obviously, Cade is not the only person to engage in unhelpful rhetoric about this issue, but on the other hand if you call yourself "terfhunter" or whatever then you probably won't get invited onto the BBC as a voice of reason or feminism or whatever.
Why not just ignore the thread? You've never posted anything worth reading about gender or feminism so it'd be no loss to anyone else and you save yourself the grief of reading views you disagree with.
